She Is From The Countryside

She Had No Desires

His voice was gentle and clear, drifting into the girl’s ears along with the wind.

She stopped and turned around slowly.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Shi Yan had seen many men who she felt were outstanding. Among them, there were many who were handsome and had an outstanding temperament. However, none of them made her heart skip a beat at first sight.

The man’s appearance was undoubtedly unique. Looking at him, he was twenty-five years old and sitting in a wheelchair in a white shirt, his face pale and a little sickly. His temperament was noble, gentle, and reserved.

She had read many books, especially ancient literature. She had never quite understood what the book meant when it said, “A stranger like a Jade Master is unparalleled in the world.”

Or rather, she had never quite understood what kind of temperament that was. At this moment, she seemed to suddenly understand.

However, she did not know that when she looked back, the hand holding the book in the wheelchair could not help but tighten a little.

She had a beautiful smile and a pair of beautiful eyes.

It was an apt description for her.

He opened his mouth again, “You dropped your book.”

His voice was as mellow as wine, and as clear as the spring in the mountains.

As the sound of the wind entered her ears, Shi Yan felt as if her heartbeat had skipped a beat.

She had always been calm and composed. Very few things could stir up her emotions, but today, she was acting strangely again and again.

Her gaze fell on the book he was holding.

His ten fingers were slender, fair, and well-defined. He wore a white jade ring on his thumb. The ring gave off a quaint aura, making his hand look even more pleasing to the eye. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

She was not careless. She had never been careless. She always did things in an orderly manner. This was the first time she had dropped something, and it was her favorite book. The key was that she did not even notice that the book had fallen!

If she was holding a bunch of books in her hands, it would be understandable if she did not notice that she had dropped one. However, she had only brought two books with her today.

Still, it was fine if she did not notice that the book had fallen. However, the other party had come in a wheelchair, and she did not even hear the sound of the wheelchair rolling.

Was it because the sound of the wind blowing through the surrounding vegetation was so loud that it covered the other sounds? Or was it because she was distracted by something else?

Perhaps it was both.

The reason did not seem to be that important.

She walked over and took the book from the other party’s hands.

“Thank you.”

Sunlight shone through the sparse branches onto the two of them. One of them was standing while the other was sitting. The actions of the person handing over the book and the person taking the book actually had an indescribable beauty. It was unknown whether it was because the surrounding scenery was so beautiful, or because both of their looks and temperament were outstanding.

Perhaps it was both…

Shi Yan took the book and held it in her arms.

Logically speaking, she should have left after thanking him. Shi Yan was about to move, but she retracted her footsteps and looked at the man in the wheelchair.

She suddenly bumped into his good-looking eyes.

“You...” After a pause, Shi Yan asked, “Sir, are you going out alone? Do you need me to send you back?”

It was a good excuse for him to appear here alone in a wheelchair. In fact, she originally wanted to ask him how to address him, but she retracted her words when she felt that it was inappropriate.

The man looked at her for a few seconds and asked, “Will it be too troublesome for you?”

His voice was gentle, and his temperament was gentle.

He gave off a very comfortable feeling.

Shi Yanran smiled sweetly, “No, I’m fine.”

She had just received a call from Little Zhao asking her to go back for lunch. As it was the Jiang family’s family banquet tonight, Grandma Jiang was used to keeping an eye on the kitchen to cook on this day. For lunch today, Grandma Jiang had told her to settle it with Jiang Rui on her own. There was no need to wait for her.

After Jiang Rui and Jiang Sheng ate together, Xiao Zhao brought her lunch to her place.

With her personality, it was only reasonable for her to rush back for lunch.

However…

“I’ll have to trouble you, then.”

Even if there was no smile on his face, a man with a gentle and noble temperament would not make others feel cold and distant.

Shi Yan responded with a faint smile. Just as she was about to go around and push the wheelchair, the man’s gaze fell on the book in her hand.

“Give me the book. It’s not convenient for you to push the wheelchair.”

Shi Yan glanced at the book in her hand and smiled as she handed both books over. She waited for the other party to take them before she went around to push the wheelchair.

“Where does Sir live?”

She pushed the wheelchair as she walked. She could only see the top of his hair, his shoulders, his exquisite side profile, his fair neck, and the hand that was holding the book on his lap. She could not see his face, but even so, Shi Yan’s heart could not be considered calm.

Had she ever wanted anything special since she was a child? It seemed that she did not.

She was very indifferent to everything.

Take Food and lodging, for example. Whether she lived in a big old mansion, a luxurious villa, or a cottage in the mountains and whether she ate delicacies from the mountains, ordinary side dishes, or wild vegetables and coarse grains, it didn’t make much of a difference to her.

She didn’t have any requirements for these things.

To put it in layman’s terms, she didn’t have any desires.

But now…

“Bamboo Garden,” the man’s clear and pleasant voice sounded. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

Bamboo Garden?

Shi Yanwei was surprised.

She had lived in the Jiang family’s old house for more than half a month. Although she spent most of her time hanging out with Jiang Rui and rarely strolled around the old house, she didn’t wander around the old house. Instead, she stayed in the places where she often walked around.

However, she knew which courtyard the Jiang family’s old house was in and who lived there.

She remembered this bamboo garden especially well because it was the residence of the fifth master Jiang, who seemed to be very secretive among the people in the Jiang family’s old house in Sea City.

The fifth master Jiang who lived in seclusion due to his poor health..

Shi Yan’s gaze fell on the man’s exquisite side profile.

Speaking of which, she had more or less heard the names of other people in the Jiang family. After all, she had also talked on the phone with Grandma Jiang for three years. However, it seemed that she had never heard anyone mention this fifth master Jiang’s name.

Whenever he was mentioned, it was always “Fifth Master Jiang.”

Grandma Jiang naturally did not address him as fifth master Jiang. However, up until now, Grandma Jiang had only mentioned fifth master Jiang to her once. This was when Grandma Jiang and Jiang Rui had dinner together on the night they returned from their trip. Grandma Jiang had simply mentioned him to her.

At that time, Grandma Jiang had said, “Fifth Master is not in good health and likes to be quiet. He doesn’t like to be disturbed by others. He lives in the bamboo garden. Xiao Yan, if you accidentally walk near the bamboo garden, don’t stay too long.”

At that time, she had responded with a smile. Other than feeling that this fifth master of the Jiang family was really mysterious, she did not have any other thoughts.

At that time, her thoughts were that left and right had nothing to do with her.

“Miss, do you know where the bamboo garden is?”

He suddenly turned his head, and Shi Yan didn’t have the time to react.

Then, she smiled and said, “I know.”

The bamboo garden was called the bamboo garden because it was located in a bamboo forest. There was only one bamboo forest in the Jiang family’s old residence.

She had seen it from afar when she was strolling around, so it wasn’t difficult to find it.

After that, the two of them didn’t say anything else. One of them was sitting quietly in a wheelchair while the other was quietly pushing the wheelchair.

They had only met each other less than half an hour, so they couldn’t be considered to know each other. However, the scene was surprisingly harmonious.
